It's pretty amazing to realize that these guys have been playing music for ten years, and they are only just now old enough to vote. Twin brothers and co-founders Ben (guitar/lead vocals) and Matt (drums/vocals) Peterson were all of 8 years old when they performed their first gig. They landed a major-label contract with Jive Records before they’d even finished high school.
I was able to talk with them while they were in New York City recording their debut CD. The Petersons and bassist/vocalist Martin Lascano give us a sneak peek at some of the songs that will be on that CD, due out some time after Christmas. They are excited to be in this position, and can hardly wait to share their music with the world. As Matt puts it: “We waited forever just to make it to this point,” he says, “and now that we’re here, it’s like all that energy we’ve had bottled up is ready to come out. We’re ready to play – we’re ready to be everywhere.”

This particular episode of the DVIP has become a labor of love..."labor" being the operative term. It literally took four tries to get this interview recorded. I think it was well worth the effort.
